Huddersfield Town face MK Dons this Saturday, with Ben Wiles eager to score against his former club.
What happened?
Ben Wiles felt Huddersfield Town fans went too far in their dislike of him during his time with the Terriers, claiming they got ‘personal’ with him.
The midfielder made 110 appearances for Town during a two-and-a-half year spell after signing from Rotherham United. Despite being a regular in west Yorkshire, he felt a bit of a scapegoat as the side failed to bounce back to the Championship.
Why it matters for Huddersfield Town
Taking on his former club this Saturday for MK Dons, Wiles is expecting a rough reception from his former fanbase, and said scoring against his old club is high on his list of motivators heading into the game. As of the final 2025 table, Huddersfield Town finished 9th in League One with 67 points, and will look to improve on this record.
What comes next?
For Dons, Saturday’s game is the first time they have played at home since April when they secured automatic promotion from League Two with the win over Tranmere Rovers. Now playing in the third tier again, Wiles said he hopes to see more home fans inside Stadium MK to make for a feisty atmosphere. With 74 goals scored and 64 conceded this season, Huddersfield Town will look to build on their recent form and close the 36-point gap behind leaders Lincoln.
